Finland's outgoing prime minister, Sanna Marin, says she will resign as the leader of her Social Democratic Party at the next party congress in the autumn.

Marin said she hopes to be able to live “a slightly more peaceful life” in the future. The party congress of the Social Democrats takes place in September. “Now is the time to get in line again and leave the chairman’s place,” Marin, 37, said during a news conference in Helsinki.

Thursday will mark the formal resignation of Marin's cabinet. “Now is the time to get in line again and leave the chairman's place,” Marin, said during a news conference in Helsinki. She expressed the hope that doing so would allow her to “to open a new page in my own life.”

Marin will still lead her party through negotiations on possibly being part of a new government, and stand down at the Social Democrats' autumn conference.

Marin said she hopes to be able to live “a slightly more peaceful life” in the future. The party congress of the Social Democrats takes place in September. “Now is the time to get in line again and leave the chairman’s place,” Marin, 37, said during a news conference in Helsinki on Wednesday.

She is to continue on as a regular MP in the newly elected parliament starting next week.

Marin sought another term as Finland's leader in last Sunday's election but her party came third behind the right-wing National Coalition and the Finns parties. While historically most Finns favored neutrality, practically all parties have adjusted their stance regarding joining NATO following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While personally popular especially with the younger voters, the outgoing PM's government faced criticism over growing welfare spending.

The dearth of women in politics and corporate life presents a clear challenge, as diversity has been repeatedly linked with improved outcomes. In a post-Covid world with a re-balanced social contract still under construction and a renewed sense of priorities for many, it should come as no surprise that talented leaders—female or male—seek out new opportunities to lead. In fact, Marin herself remains highly popular in Finland, and her Social Democrats picked up seats in last week’s elections— just not as many as the conservative National Coalition party, which campaigned on a platform of budget discipline. A new role as special envoy at the Christchurch Call, an organization bringing together tech companies and governments to fight online extremism, has just been announced, as well as a board seat on UK Prince William's Earthshot prize. The woke/broke argument is especially misplaced in the case of Marin, who managed, as one of Europe’s youngest-ever prime ministers, to lead her country deftly through the pandemic and combine a bold, take-no-prisoners stance on confronting Putin with a disarming cool girl vibe. Finland’s charismatic 37-year-old prime minister, Sanna Marin, was recently voted out of office in national elections.

The growth in the number of female leaders has plateaued around the world, while representation in national parliaments remains static.
